New York Girls G C As I walked down the Broadway G D One evening last July G C I met a maid who asked me trade G D G And a sailor lad says I To Tiffany's I took her I didn’t mind expense I bought her a pair of gold earrings And they cost me fifteen cents Chorus Away Santee My Dear Annie Oh, you New York girls can't you dance the polka? [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/gaelic-storm/374617.html ] And she says, 'You Limejuice sailor Now see me home you may' But when we reached her cottage door She this to me did say My flash man he's a Yankee With his hair cut short behind He wears a pair of black sea-boots And he sails in the Blackball Line Chorus And He's homeward bound this evening And with me he will stay So get a move on, sailor-boy Get cracking on your way I kissed her hard and proper Afore her flash man came So fare thee well, you Bowery girl I know your little game Chorus And then I wrapped me glad rags round me And to the docks did steer I will never court another girl I'll stick to rum and beer I joined a Yankee blood-boat And sailed away next morn Don't mess around with women boys You're safer ‘round Cape Horn |
